Belmond’s Venice Simplon-Orient-Express Hits a New Note with “Voyages en Musique”
Voyages en Musique: Belmond’s Venice
Simplon-Orient-Express Takes a Melodic Turn
—
This autumn, Belmond invites travellers to step aboard the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, Europe’s most legendary train, for a new sensory experience: Voyages en Musique — a moving stage celebrating French artistry, fine dining, and timeless travel.
Running across October and November 2025, this series transforms the train into an intimate concert hall on rails, harmonising old-world glamour with the vibrant pulse of contemporary French music.
Each journey will feature a live performance from one of France’s most captivating artists: the folk-pop duo Lilly Wood (28 October), whose hit Prayer in C became an international anthem; the magnetic Flora Fishbach (3 November), blending new wave, synth-pop and rock; and Aliocha Schneider (20 November), whose poetic melodies have earned acclaim both in France and abroad.
Passengers will enjoy an immersive cultural escape, beginning with a glass of champagne before settling into their elegant cabins — from Historic Cabins to the opulent Grand Suites. As night falls, the train’s legendary Bar Car 3674 — draped in velvet and golden light — comes alive with music, transforming the journey between Venice and Paris into an unforgettable symphony of luxury and emotion.
With prices starting from £3,530 per person for a Historic Cabin and £7,260 for a Suite, Voyages en Musique promises not just a trip, but a performance — a poetic voyage where heritage meets harmony and luxury moves to the rhythm of modern France.
